Demonstration of Communication Performance Measurement of Individuals Who Use AAC
Thursday, October 18, 2007 9:30 am - 10:30 am
AAC evidence-based clinical practice requires the measurement of communication performance. Automated tools have been developed to support the collection and analysis of language samples of communication generated using any speech-output AAC system. This session will begin with a review of the basics of AAC evidence-based practice, including the available tools. Then, an individual who uses AAC will be analyzed and the AAC Performance Report for that individual will be generated and reviewed. Participants will understand the power of this simple foundational practice.
